Car key fob — Oakland, CA

Last updated: September 24, 2026

What affects the price

The final price for locksmith services depends on a few specific variables. First, the type of lock matters—high-security systems, electronic smart locks, or vintage hardware often require specialized tools and more time. The time of day also plays a role, as late-night, weekend, or holiday visits typically involve different rates than standard business hours. Additionally, your location and the complexity of the issue, such as a simple lockout versus a full ignition or deadbolt replacement, will influence the total.

About this service

A car key fob is the remote device used to lock, unlock, or start your vehicle without a traditional metal key. You typically need a replacement or spare if yours is lost, damaged, or unresponsive. Costs vary based on the vehicle’s make, model, and the technology required to sync it with your car's security system. We handle everything from basic remotes to advanced proximity fobs. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
